“I saw him lifeless. I saw it with my own eyes. Not in person, but my son, Domani, was actually the one that walked in and saw him,” T.I. explained. He FaceTimed me and said, ‘Hey, what up with Dro?’ I’m tryna wake him up, he won’t wake up.’ I’m like, ‘Dro! Dro! Aye man.’”
The 45-year-old stated that Domani’s efforts to wake him brought him back to consciousness. “That’s what woke me up.

More Details On Dro’s Sobriety Journey
In January 2023, Dro, formerly known as D’Juan Montrel Hart, opened up about being sober and feeling great because of it, HipHopDX reports. In a VladTV interview, he acknowledged that he needed to work on staying sober every day and shared that he was 100 percent clean of everything.
“Seventeen months. I’m working on my two years. Tough, too. I think my mindset changed. It’s still a struggle to actually maintain this because I still live a Hip Hop party life. I go out at night. I pay my bills out of clubs and concerts where my peers are smoking and drinking, popping champagne. And that lifestyle is still there,” he said.
During the conversation, he mentioned that his father battled addiction, which kept him from being involved in Dro’s life. He also shared that addiction affected his mother’s side of the family, claiming the lives of five of her six siblings.
“My father is a good guy but his addiction led him to not being present. And that’s one of the things that made… I wanted to be [different] from that. When I saw myself in the grips of it, I was very upset and I fought with that for a long time in my career.”
